WEST POINT, N.Y. - The Army West Point women's swimming and diving team defeated Colgate and Lafayette in a tri-meet on Monday afternoon.

The Black Knights won by scores of 177-106 over the Raiders, and 210-64 over the Leopards, to improve to 5-3 (4-1, Patriot League) on the season.

COACHES CORNER
It was a good day for us," said head coach Mickey Wender. "I thought we swam really well, and were able to get people into races that they normally wouldn't be in, which was great. We have a few tough meets left before the conference championships, and the best is yet to come."

Bridget Ritter touched the wall first in the 1000-yard freestyle in 10:45.70.
Croman and Bailey Smith went 1-2 in the 100-yard backstroke with times of 57.72 seconds and 58.99 seconds respectively.
Serica Hallstead won the three-meter dive with a score of 281.4, which is a qualifying mark for the NCAA "A" Zone Championships.
Army swept the top four spots in the 50-yard freestyle with Monica Sowinski (1^st – 24.44 seconds), Nneka Pilgrim (2^nd – 24.56 seconds), Kate Machorek (3^rd – 24.85 seconds) and Brianna Romaine (4^th – 24.86 seconds) out-swimming the competition.
